Colson Montgomery provides record-setting power and batting average risk down the stretch
Montgomery continues to showcase supreme power despite contact struggles, hitting four home runs and driving in 10 runs over his last 14 days while batting just .178. The everyday shortstop recently etched his name into franchise history by launching his 31st home run, a single-season club record for the position. His potent bat remains indispensable in the heart of the lineup for a first-place White Sox club fighting to protect their division lead at 75-70.
With 31 homers and 83 RBIs, Montgomery has completely shattered our initial projection of 18 long balls, establishing himself as one of the premier power bats at shortstop. While his .208 average and 201 strikeouts represent a real drain in batting average categories, his elite exit velocities prove this power breakout is entirely genuine rather than a fluke.
Over the rest of the week, Montgomery concludes a home set against Jared Jones (4.46 ERA) before visiting St. Louis for three games. The Cardinals series presents exploitable matchups against hittable pitching, including left-hander Matthew Liberatore and his 5.66 ERA, alongside Kyle Leahy (3.41 ERA). Given his matchup advantage and 30-homer upside, lock him into lineups. Start.
